My fill dirt brings all the boys to the yard...

I'm convinced if you want boys to do something, you've got to bribe them with a little dirt.

They're attracted to dirt like white on rice.

Can't get your boys to come to the dinner table? Serve up a side of dirt.

Can't get them to pee directly in the potty? Throw in some dirt.

4 boys in the barrow...aren't they cute?

Honest Scrap Award.

A big thanks to Tamara over at "Get It Girl Style" for awarding me the honest scrap award.

Here are the rules:

1.) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award. 2.) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself. 3.) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me. 4.) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving.

So here we go:

10 honest things about myself...

1. I have a weird quirk about balance. For instance if I step on a crack on the sidewalk with my left foot I feel like I have to find a crack to step on with my right foot. (Don't think I don't hear you humming the Twilight Zone tune)?

2. I'm not that fond of dogs but I love to watch the Dog Whisperer.

3. By nature, I'm really quite introverted. I can be very outgoing but it takes work.

4. I've always dreamed of owning a beach cottage inn.

5. I have to sleep with long sleaves even in the middle of the summer.

6. When sleeping, I sometimes dream of designing spaces.

7. My favorite treat: Ben and Jerry's.

8. I can't look at our fish swimming around in his bowl while I'm eating, grosses me out.

9. My favorite part of the day is rollerblading my boys around in the stroller in the morning.

10. My husband is my best friend.

7 blogs I find brilliant:

(I'm only going to award three because I see almost all the rest have been awarded).

1. Little Green Notebook.

2. Life in the Fun Lane.

3. ChicColes.
